I see a couple of things that could be wrong. Possibly you should be doing "DOMAIN=$2" in the loop?? $1 is the ip address, $2 is the fully-qualified hostname. It seemed to work just fine when I replaced the bbhostgrep line with

 echo "yahoo.com" | while read L

Definitely you should be converting the dots in $DOMAIN to commas. See the second paragraph under "XYMON MESSAGE SYNTAX" in the bb.1 manpage. This would do it:

DOM=echo $DOMAIN | sed -e 's/\./,/g' echo $BB $BBDISP "status+12h $DOM.dnsreg $COLOR date

You can test your script using bbcmd:

server/bin/bbcmd server/ext/dnsreg

That kicks off the script with the same environment that Xymon gives it. You probably want to put a 'set -x' in at the top, to see everything that's going on. I generally put an "echo" in front of the $BB line when testing, to minimize the amount of bogus reports going to the server.
